Hey there, welcome.

My name is Chris Gellibot, your host of Sad us all school, bringing you daily episodes featuring

case studies, questions and answers, tips, all kinds of ideas about how you can make extra money without quitting your job.

In today's episode, as we kick off a new week here, it's part of a feature we call your first $1,000.

It is in fact about how someone got going, how they made their first $1,000, how they entered a new industry,

started a new project, did something for the first time, how did they get to that point?

And this is important because, you know, I've learned that once you begin to earn real money,

the steps required to go to the next level, whatever that level is, could be from $1,000 to $2,000 to $5,000 to $10,000 and beyond,

it's so much easier than that first real paycheck.

So that's why I want to help our listeners get started quickly, and we've had so many stories over the years of listeners doing that.

So I am cheering you on as always, and with that in mind, today's feature comes from Rachel, the Budget Bliss Wedding Planer.

So she is doing low budget ceremonies or wedding ceremonies and events for couples who don't have a lot of money to spend,

which of course is admirable, but she also wants to get paid for her important work.

And I think that's admirable too. So how does she do it? Let's hear from Rachel. I'll come back at the end with a quick wrap up.

Hi, this is Rachel. So my story started when my best friend asked me to help plan her wedding.
